LearnDash Assignment Uploads Control Plugin

This LearnDash plugin allows administrators to set limitations like max. file size, allowed file extensions and max. number of uploads for LearnDash Lessons and Topics assignment uploads.

notice:
Since Version 2.5.0, LearnDash introduced assignment upload control parameters at Lesson and Topic level. This plugin will be adapted for those changes soon enough, but until then it is recomennded for use on LearnDash versions < 2.5.0

The plugin adds ‘LDAUC Settings’ submenu under Learndash LMS admin link. By clicking on the link ‘LearnDash Assignment Uploads Control Settings’ page appears where upload options can be set.

Once the options are set, all users, which are logged in and assigned to a LD Course will see additional information about upload limitations on their Lessons/Topics Assignment upload sections.

If a ‘bad’ Assignment upload is performed, that is one which do not fit limitations set in the ‘LearnDash Assignment Uploads Control Settings’ page, the User will see a new page with a Notice about what was wrong and with a link back to the Lesson/Topic page to try another upload. In this case the ‘bad’ Assignment will be disregarded and will not be uploaded.

Also, [ld-markcomplete] short code is generated which should be used in LearnDash Lesson and Topic templates to render additional info in ‘Display Lesson Assignments’ section.

The plugin is translation ready.

Layout, styling of plugin’s front end or adding additional java script to the front end if needed, can be managed within files placed in plugin’s ‘templates’ folder. This files could be overridden by adding ‘ld-assignment-uploads-ctrl’ folder to your Theme or Child Theme and copying them to it.

It:

• will prevent logged in Users to upload an Assignment which does not fit limitations defined by administrator.
• provides a Settings screen in wp-admin: LearnDash LMS -> LDAUC Setings
• provides [ld-markcomplete] short code to be placed in LearnDash Lesson and Topic templates
• allows admin to set Assignment upload limitations: ‘max. file size’, ‘allowed file extensions’ and ‘max. number of uploaded files’ for LearnDash Lessons/Topics
• allows you to adjust and additionally style the ‘bad’ upload Notice page and upload Assignment section information in your Topics and Lessons
• allows you to make Template override folder in your Theme and make layout and style there, keeping them update safe …
